I looked at group A’s wiki and I agree with the connectivism and students section of their wiki. If a student wants to learn, then they will do their best through interactions with others. Once they experience learning without a book, I believe that they will learn more. Wendy DG, on her blog, stated that once the foundation of learning occurs then independent learning will take the lead. This independent learning should be through interactions.

You make a great point about the learning foundation. I think we have all seen the spark of a student who has first realized how empowering it is to be a self-motivated learner---with or without books. With tech tools, students can be easily motivated to use knowledge and gain knowledge through their interactions. Certainly, the motivation to learn will increase as the student becomes more independent using these tools.
